about

This was prompted by a friend's admission that for most of the music he listened to, he'd have skipped forward to the next track after an average of ten seconds. I was horrified.

And this one featured a lot of Roland GR-55 guitar synthesizer, because I'd been neglecting it.

lyrics

You're being hypnotised
The beat you're hearing's slowly driving you insane
I'm sure you've recognised
Hitting fast forward simply doesn't work the same

Whichever way you use it
by mp3 or streams
You find you can't refuse it
It's going to haunt your dreams
You used to skim your music
(there's a lot of it about)
But like it or abuse it
You won't be missing out

You don't need an analyst
There's really nothing wrong
This week your daily playlist
is this one and only song
Impossible to flip it,
it's lodged inside your brain
However much you skip it
It's coming round again

Out on your travels
or stuck at home; all you hear is this one tune
Your thoughts unravel
they've been displaced by the hit parade of doom...

Chris Harris Bristol, UK

I'm still trying to get the music I record to sound like the version I can hear in my head. To do this I've ended up playing every instrument I can get my hands on. These days, I'm closer to "That Sound" than I used to be, but the journey continues.
